Praxis II Citizenship

Category - Civics

Which of the following is NOT a civil liberty?
  1. The right of male and female American citizens over the age of 18 to vote.
  2. The right to speak freely.
  3. The right to work.
  4. The right to a trial by jury.
Explanation
Answer: C -The right to work is not specified in the Constitution and is, therefore, not a civil liberty. The right to speak freely and the right to a trial by a jury of one’s peers are both in the Bill of Rights. The parameters for voting rights are outlined in successive amendments. However, every citizen has the right to be considered for employment without being suspect to discrimination (such as gender discrimination), meaning that while citizens are not guaranteed employment, they cannot be denied equal access to employment for which they are qualified.
